and abu dhabi is right around the corner. so it appears that clay warrior is playing.

there is no way he can win given his current shape. he should have got back on clay to work on his ground game and to keep the knee a little bit insulated from the extra impact of hard courts. he would have been more prepared for this exo.

well he did it his way and now he will pay the price. he is already making excuses: he said he is not 100% and that he knows that knee may not respond.

that is his way of saying that he kno2ws that he is a damn fool and that the knee is not anywhere near 100% even after taking nearly 8 months off.

its a shame really. he keeps going out of his way to destroy his knee.

"He has all the shots. Novak is playing very consistent, he is in a very good moment now, very confident," Ferrer said. "I am OK, trying every game, every match. Of course, I will try to improve. Sometimes you play some matches better, some are worse. Of course, I did not play well today. But I have to be positive."

There is no thing such is exo for Ferrer

Recently the more I watch Ferrer the more I like his determination.

Jimmy Conners said he was one of his favorite players along with Nadal, Jimmy loves Ferrer's tenacity and giving it all on the court. I do too.
